WASHINGTON
Advises Soft Pedal Put on Emigration to Mexico
WASHINGTON.—Count von Eckardt, whose activities as German minister to Mexico during the war were credited as responsible for the strong pro-German sentiment in the southern republic, warns his fellow countrymen against emigrating to Argentina and Mexico until they are certain that conditions there are favorable for them, according to one of his recent lectures, a copy of which has just been received in Washington from Germany.
Minister von Eckardt asserts:
"The country is still pro-German today and the sympathies for Germany will not be killed. What advantages we may derive from this predilection depend wholly upon our ability to inculcate into the Mexican people German culture and upon our keeping up the reputation we have gained for capability and trustworthiness.
"We must send only capable men of character, knowledge and energy to Mexico, where they may do honor to the name of Germany and Hamburg. Then we will be able not only to get our old connections back, but also to see them grow and expand."
